Lightbulb need a wooden deck for your balcony?
i love mattias' idea for his balcony flooring. so simple yet effective.

"i have used gorm shelfs as floor decking for my balcony. i just added an extra beam in the middle of every shelf. of course some treatment oil is recommended, but it's still a rather cheap and easy way to get a nice balcony floor."</img>

Re: need a wooden deck for your balcony?
that's very cool... i've used old futon frames in a similar way. in our area futons can't be given away, too many college students i guess!

Re: need a wooden deck for your balcony?
Now, this is something I may be interested in. Right now it's bare concrete and I want to dress it up a bit prior to purchasing some chairs for it.
Thanks!

Um, the only kind of wood that can be used outside is treated lumber otherwise it's going to rot or become food for termites or both.
